The North West Simon Community Charity Shop

The North West Simon Community has opened its 1st charity shop on Mon 27th Nov. To start it will be open Mon to Thurs 9.30 to 5.00 all through lunch. It is located at No 4 JFK Parade, Sligo. There will be an official opening in the New Year.

The North West Simon Community receives no government funding towards it’s services so this shop will be a vital source of income. The more support people in the Sligo area can give the more individuals and families the charity can support. All funds raised in the shop will be used to maintain essential services in the local area.

We are accepting quality ladies’ clothes and accessories and small bric a brac at present.As well as donations, the shop is appealing for local people to join the team of volunteers to sort goods and serve customers. Volunteering is a great way to meet new people and give back.

Last year the local homeless charity prevented 186 people from being on the streets in Sligo, Leitrim & Donegal – the 3 counties the charity work in. There is a full time outreach worker in each county.For further information contact 071 9147522.
